Volume 22: Incidental (July 2008) ISSN 1461-0434
(copy deadline: May 15 2008, to be published July 2008)
Yve Lomax’s book Sounding the Event (2005) provides the inspiration for this volume. What is the status of an event? An incident? This is key to both installation and performance works, namely, their recognition as an event of note, as something which is recognised for being an event. What is the contribution of women producers to the production of noteworthy events in contemporary art? Another theme draws on the other meaning of incidental, the trivial or minor, will can be used to explore concepts of the everyday in contemporary art.

Volume 23: Activist Art (Jan 2009) ISSN 1461-0434
(copy deadline: November 15 2008, to be published Jan. 2009)
This is a call for papers by women writers, artists, curators tracing the differing forms of activism within feminist art practices from the 1970s to the present. Four decades of political activism and change in women's position! Works which discuss the social and cultural politics of issue-based work and art projects which have linked feminist politics to art practices by women artists and have manifested themselves in collaborative exhibitions, internet based projects, or through projects with specific communities of people, face-to-face or online, are welcomed. 

Volume 24: (theme to be announced shortly)(July 2009)
